The Telegraph’s Top 50 Books of All Time

The Telegraph just published the results of a poll conducted by Play.com on the “Top 50 Books of All Time.” The bulk of the list is not surprising, although Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code shows up at #5.

The Telegraph goes on to report that “The research also found that the average Briton buys at least one new book a month,” whereas the average American buy less than 10 books a year according to a report by Zogby International (that is if I interpret their data correctly).

Here’s the top 10 from the Telegraph

1. To Kill A Mockingbird – Harper Lee

2. Lord of the Rings – JRR Tolkien

3. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – C.S Lewis

4. Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen

5. The Da Vinci Code – Dan Brown

6. Wuthering Heights – Emily Bronte

7. Animal Farm – George Orwell

8. Great Expectations – Charles Dickens

9. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – JK Rowling

10. Lord of the Flies – William Golding
